lyrics

Well, I have the hope
that right about now you will legalize dope
'cause there's too many people locked up in jail

I'm not saying you should use
I'm only saying you have a right to choose
without having to pay for some made-up dues

Yeah, I've smoked it myself
and any law that's pertaining to health
should not empty the pockets of the commonwealth

Oh, give me the key
to unlock the merchants
who are persecuted
locked up and looted

I'm not saying I condone
always going and getting stoned
but it really isn't my place or say anyway

Yeah, I have the hope
that right about now you will legalize dope
'cause there's too many people rotting in jail

We're in the land of the free
home of the brave
so if we're really free
Light up and see! yeah

Why are you sending the cops
when right round the corner you give them head shops?
Then you go out and bust someone for paraphernalia...

Why is it illegal
when it's just as natural as a bald eagle?
Really doesn't make any sense, I'll tell ya
